TestingThird Person POV
The air was cold when they left the cottage. Not freezing, but sharp enough to bite at Leon's cheeks. Sylveon walked beside him, quiet for once, his soft steps barely touching the ground. The forest trees rose high around them like tall, dark guardians. Their branches stretched far overhead, blocking most of the sky, letting only thin lines of moonlight fall on the ground.
For a long time, they walked without speaking. Just the sound of leaves crunching, the distant hoot of some night bird, and the low hum of the wind moving between branches.
Sylveon was the first to break the silence.
[You are thinking too much again.]
Leon let out a slow breath. "I'm just planing our next move."
[Still doesn't change anything.]
Leon looked down at him. "That's called being responsible."
Sylveon flicked his tail. [If you say so.]
Leon's lips twitched. "Is that your way of calling me stubborn?"
